Tears in my eyes,I tried to hold them in, my heart beating rapidly, my hands trembled, my feet went cold, and my lips were sealed, I wanted to say something, anything but nothing would come out, I made eye contact with micah but he looked away, a drop of tears escaped my eyes, i quickly wiped it off with the back of my palms, "mom, this isnt fair" my voice was shaking, as tears fell, "honey i'm sorry, but i" i cut her short " there's no excuse for this, mom you're really gonna abandon us for some man" my frown deepen and i felt my heart break, "i would'nt have honey and you know it, how would you expect carl to have such grown up kids in his house" mom started of, that definately caught micheals attention because he sent her death glares, "mish, i don't think you can convince her to stay, her mind is already made up,just leave her be, we're here, we'll take care of you sis' Micah said i could see pure hurt in his eyes, his face was brigth red, he was trying to hold back his pain, but it was too visible, 
"Mom, this is'nt what you promised,....... you're a liar" i ranted but she did'nt look like she cared, then i knew something was wrong, this was'nt my mom, this was'nt the woman who raised me, she just shook her head with a sigh.
"Goodbye kids,...... i'll try to visit soon" she patted my head, i grabbed her hand with force i pushed it off and it knock down the flower vase beside her, she looked shocked, "Don't you ever touch me again, i hate you, and you're dead to me" i spat, everyone looked genuinely surprised, but mom, mom looked hurt, i kinda regretted those word, but i was to angry that i stormed off, i ran out of the house as tears flowed down my face, i heard my brothers call out to me, but i did'nt stop, I ran into the woods, i kept on running like my life depended on it, maybe it did, because i kept running without looking back, running and running into the unknown................
